Safety Precautions

Good Working Practices/Safety

Air Powered Tools

The following suggestions will enable you to observe good 
working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and 
maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.

WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT 
OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN

1. Always perform pre-operation checks before starting up the 
compressor.
 
2. Never leave inflammable objects or materials near to the 
compressor.
 
3. Always check oil level before using the compressor.
 
4. The cylinder head and delivery pipe become hot during use. 
Do not touch these items while the compressor is running.  
Allow to cool thoroughly after shut-down before handling.
 
5. Do not operate above the maximum working pressure of 115 
psi (7.8 bar).

6.  Avoid using the compressor with an extension cable; this 
may reduce the supply voltage and make the motor overheat. 
 
7. Switch the compressor on and off by using the pressure 
switch knob (see page 12); only switch off at the mains in case 
of 

emergency. 
8. Drain water from tank every day.
 
9. If the compressor shuts down through overload or 
overheating check the reason for the shut-down before 
re-starting.
 
10. Do not adjust the tank pressure relief valve without 
reference to Axminster Tools & Machinery Service Department. 
 
11. Do not remove parts from the compressor whilst it is 
running.
 
12. Do not operate the compressor with protective covers 
removed or damaged.
 
13. When spray painting always work in a well 
ventilated area and never close to open flames.
 
14. Never direct a jet of compressed air towards  
people or animals. Keep children and animals away from the 
compressor.
 
15. Do not use on an inclined surface.
 
16. Only use in ambient temperatures between –10˚C and 
+40˚C.
 
17. Only operate on 230 volt supply and with maximum fuse 
rating of 13 amps.
